Answer:

The answer is


y = 42x + 82

Explanation:

To find an equation of a line in point slope form when given the slope and a point we use the formula


y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (-2,-2) and slope 42

The equation of the line is


y + 2 = 42(x + 2) \\ y + 2 = 42x + 84 \\ y = 42x + 84 - 2

We have the final answer as


y = 42x + 82

Hope this helps you
